Cory Booker to Finally Announce Senate Bid

Everybody already knows

Newark Mayor Cory Booker is expected, weather permitting, to declare his Senate candidacy on Saturday, the official kickoff to a campaign that had not been expected in earnest until next year.

Booker is planning for a Saturday rollout, sources told POLITICO, but the bear-down from Tropical Storm Andrea expected to hit the Northeast this weekend might impact what he does.
